robsterwood Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Aberdeen looks likely. Would have been a good addition and different option for rest of season. Wage prob too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONeils4oyarder Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I thought he was unable to sign for anyone else this season because he has already played for Charlton and that Belgian mob? I seen someone mention elsewhere that there is a reason hes played for 8 clubs in 9 years, meaning that he is clearly a heid-the-baw, however that can be flipped on its head as well, as there have obviously been 8 clubs impressed enough with his footballing ability to give him a contract. You'd like to think the penny will drop for him one day, and he'll realise the chances given to him will eventually run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I remember he came on and scored a few against us a few years ago. He changed game that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more likely to have been a brown enveloupe situation with the now deceased, drug dealing, paedo agent from Troon. To be fair though Esteban was ten times the player of Blyth.

Well-Made Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 The Herald is listing all the Premiership players out of contract at the end of the season. Free at the end of the season Ours are: Andy Rose - Have a feeling he'll be here next season Liam Grimshaw - Probably gone Ryan Bowman - Would like to see him here next season Deimantas Petravicius - Gone? Charles Dunne - Would think he is here, was there not mention of an extension on games played? Russell Griffiths - I would think he's away Ellis Plummer - Ditto, too injury prone Shea Gordon - No idea, seemed to be around the first team then disappeared, has this been due to injuries? George Newell - Jury out? Robinson seems happy to have him on the bench when fit. Luke Watt - No idea. Loan deals ending: Stephen Hendrie (Southend), I imagine will be returned, Nadir Ciftci (Celtic) Same as Hendrie, unless released on a free and willing to take a wage cut, Tom Aldred (Bury) would love to see if we could do something to keep him.

steelboy Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Ciftci needs to be willing to go on a diet before any talks about wages. Rose apparently wants to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowman, Dunne, Aldred and possibly Newell would hopefully be the ones to stay.I think Rose will go, is his wife not over in USA?Bit concerned that Dunne chat over triggering a contract extension seems to have died away, not something you think would have worried us a few months ago but does now!!I think Cedric will go at end of season, if we don't get Aldred and Dunne tied down leaves us with Pete and another rebuild, mind you the last one hasn't worked out too bad !Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Weve been used to rebuild after rebuild the last few years so its actually refreshing that the out of contract list only has a handful of first team regulars. Credit to the club for getting the core of the team tied down on longer contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I've seen the "requires to play a number of games" clause referred to in terms of the second year for Dunne a few times but can't actually find any reference to that kind of stipulation. The report on the official site simply says... Quote After passing a medical and having trained with the club for two weeks, Dunne has signed a one-year deal with the opportunity for a second year. Given previous injury concerns - and the fact he was proving his fitness as much as ability in his trial - such a stipulation wouldn't seem unreasonable to put in a contract. That all said there may well be an argument given his increasingly impressive performances that a new longer term contract reflecting his displays would be more appropriate than any second year follow on.

something else Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Will be delighted if Rose, Dunne and Aldred are here again next season. The rest can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 There is definitely an option to extend the contract, that is covered in a number of place, but not specifically the criteria for the extension, I guess if everyone is happy he will extend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well 4 Europe Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 My Link Be warned it is the sun, it was at the bottom of a story about Moult Quote Meanwhile, Well defender Charles Dunne revealed he hopes to trigger a one-year contract extension. He said: “I signed for one year but another year will kick in when I’ve played a certain amount of games — and I only have a few more to go.” That was in December, so something might have changed since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 That's some good news then, that the contract extension automatically kicks in after so many games. If he does go we'll be due some sort of transfer fee, but hopefully he wants to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 The clause might not kick in until we are safe from relegation. That would surely be sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen anything saying it only kicks in after we're safe from relegation, think it's purely on the number of games played. That makes sense though, as him playing in a certain number of games would mean that he's stayed fit, and that the manager has been picking him.

coop91 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I see there's a rumour on pie & bovril, started by st mirren fans, that we have signed their striker, Gavin Reilly(22 goals this season) on a pre contract.

steelboy Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 22 goals this season but not many of them against full time Championship teams. His record with Hearts in the Premiership was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His record with Hearts in the Premiership was terrible. That may be the case, so he has gone down a level found some form and no doubt confidence, and would hopefully be a better player at SPL level now....doubt we will be signing proven 22 goal strikers in the SPL, so we go looking for potential/discarded/hungry/something to prove.Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I think we could see 7 or 8 players leave this summer one way or another. I would obviously keep Kipre, Carson and Cadden but I think there might’ve interest from elsewhere. Of any of the others out of contract we/they might not decide to renew includes Bowman, Rose, Grimshaw, Petrevicious, Griffiths, Plummer, Newell. Hopefully Hartley returns well from his injury and it’s worth considering Tanner might be our till September and even then how he’ll be after that injury. I would take Aldred on a permanent deal but I don’t think Ciftci has done enough to warrant a permanent deal, if that was even something we were looking at.
